DFDS Seaways welcomes Malo Seaways to Dover-Calais route

Named in honour of the French coastal city, Malo Les Bains, which is located north of Dunkirk, the new ship brings DFDS Seaways’ Dover-France fleet back up to five ships, following the departure of Dieppe Seaways.

She joins Calais Seaways on the Dover-Calais service, offering passengers a comfortable and easy 90 minute crossing between the UK and France.

Malo Seaways has been newly refurbished and rebranded in the DFDS Seaways colours.

At around 170 metres long she has capacity for around 400 passengers, 375 cars and 2,000 lane metres of high vehicle capacity.

Max Foster, passenger director at DFDS Seaways, commented: “We’re very grateful to the Mayor of Malo Les Bains for allowing us to name our new ship after the city and are delighted that the Dover-France fleet is back to its five ship capacity.
